Key Details
- Transaction date: April 15, 2026; Filing date: April 17, 2026.
- Conversions/acquisitions: 760, 437, 695 and 1,130 shares (total 3,022) at $0.00.

- Footnotes: F1 indicates shares were surrendered to pay tax liability. F2–F5 show these awards vest quarterly (6.25% per quarter) from various vesting commencement dates (Jan 15 of 2023–2026) — multiple award vintages were involved.
- Transaction codes: M = exercise/conversion of derivative; F = payment of exercise price/tax withholding. This appears to be a standard cashless/withholding settlement, not an open-market sell.
Context
- This filing reflects conversion of vested awards and the common practice of withholding/surrendering shares to cover taxes — not a discretionary open-market sale. Such tax-withholding events are routine and do not necessarily signal insider sentiment.
- No indication in the provided data that the filing was late.
